About this song

  • “Good Fortune” was recorded during the sessions for "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" throughout March and April 2000 at Linford Manor in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. The song was one nineteen songs PJ Harvey had written for the album, alongside the single’s B-sides “Memphis” and “66 Promises.” It is the second track and lead single from her fifth studio album "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea", and was released on 13 November 2000 on Island Records. The song was written by Harvey and self-produced with Mick Harvey and Rob Ellis. This song is about falling in love with a special person. In a 2001 issue of Q magazine, Harvey said: “I wanted everything to sound as beautiful as possible. I want this album to sing and fly and be full of reverb and lush layers of melody. I want it to be my beautiful, sumptuous, lovely piece of work.” . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply. — lastfm
